Catalysis by imidazole and N-methylimidazole buffers of the intramolecular thiolysis of N-n-propyl 2-mercaptomethylbenzamide (forming 2-thiophthalide) has been studied in aqueous solution at 40.0 °C, μ = 1.0. Unlike other buffers previously studied, imidazole and N-methylimidazole are able to catalyze, by a general base route, formation of neutral tetrahedral intermediate; this pathway is rate limiting at pH ≤ 7.5. At higher pH, the previously reported general acid-catalyzed breakdown of this intermediate is rate limiting. The relevance of these observations to the currently accepted pathway for the acylation of papain by amide substrates is discussed. Keywords: amide hydrolysis, intramolecular, thiol participation, imidazole, papain model.

The relative reactivities of the tetrakis( N -alkylpyridinium- X - yl )-porphyrins where X = 4 (alkyl = methyl, ethyl, n -propyl) , X = 3 (methyl) , and X = 2 (methyl, ethyl, n -propyl, n -butyl, n -hexyl, n -octyl) were studied in aqueous solution. From the ionic strength dependence of the metalation rate constants, the effective charge of a particular cationic porphyrin was usually larger when copper(II) rather than zinc(II) was the reactant. The kinetics of ZnOH + incorporation and the acid catalyzed removal of zinc from the porphyrins in 1.0 M HCl were also studied. In general, the more basic 4- (para-) and 3- (meta-) isomers were the most reactive, followed by the less basic 2- (ortho-) methyl to n -butyl derivatives, with the lipophilic ortho n -hexyl and n -octyl porphyrins the least reactive.

The rates of reaction of halide ions with ethylene oxide in neutral aqueous solution and the rate of hydrolysis of ethylene oxide in acid solution have been measured and the activation energies determined. From these data and from the ratio of glycol to chlorohydrin formed when ethylene oxide reacts with excess aqueous hydrogen halide, the rates of the acid-catalyzed addition of halide ions to ethylene oxide at 25 °C. have been estimated.
